Sweet Potato Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 cake yeast
  • 1/4 cupful lukewarm water
  • 1 cupful scalded milk
  • 1 tablespoonful salt
  • 1/2 cupful sugar
  • 1 cupful sweet mashed potatoes
  • 3 tablespoonfuls melted butter

Directions

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, add the milk, salt, sugar, and potatoes (roasted, scraped from the skins, and worked to a cream with the melted butter), then allow to cool. Beat all together until light, then stir in with a wooden spoon enough flour to make a soft dough. Throw a cloth over the bread bowl and set in a warm place until well raised. Make into small loaves; let them rise for an hour and bake in a brisk oven.
